Ode to Summer + Chocolate for Breakfast

Ode to Summer + Chocolate for Breakfast

It seems as though fall is finally arriving. With the last few days reaching above twenty degrees (Celsius that is) it has been an unusually hot October. Now that it actually feels like autumn, I think it’s best to say a formal “goodbye” to summer.

It’s no secret that this summer hasn’t been very “summery”. Sure, we got spoiled with some spectacular 30 degree dock days, but those were usually incompassed by about 7 straight days of rain. Needless to say the wearer has been less than ideal and I

In the days leading up to my school trip to Boston I was baking up a storm. As you can probably imagine the food on school trips is a far stretch from gourmet, but for people with intolerances and specific diets, such as I, the food is practically non-existent. So, that is why my kitchen turned into a whirlwind of granola-making, nut toasting, recipe testing and vacuum sealing. It’s important when you have food intolerances to prepare for the worst (think being served solely a bowl of shredded lettuce while your friends chow down on wheat filled spaghetti noodles).  Continue reading Raw Chocolate Energy Bites

This weekend, whilst studying for a calculus test (typical), I started to daydream of chocolate banana bread. Eventually my brain could not handle any more math and decided to take a much-needed break. I immediately reached for the ripe bananas in my fruit bowl and

DIY Nut Butter

DIY Nut Butter

If you know me, you know I have an array of odd food obsessions. Hummus, anything with sweet potatoes, sushi, watermelon, just to name a few. I also adore nut butter, especially almond based nut butters (I’m not a fan of peanut butter). Honestly, I could live off of nut butter. I am known to eat it straight out of the jar with a spoon, not even joking.  Continue reading DIY Nut Butter
